Abstract

This poster presents legal issues related to student suicide on university and college campuses in the United States. Some of the key concepts include issues related to FERPA and liability; if an institution is responsible for preventing suicides; existence of a “special relationship” held between institutions and students in regards to suicide; and the idea of a duty to warn/notify. The poster presents recommendations for policies, procedures and prevention strategies for institutions of higher learning. A few highlighted cases with regard to student suicide include: Mahoney v. Alleghaney College, Jain v. Iowa, and Bogust v. Iverson.
